Truly enlightening!

Dr. Heitzenrater has a marvelous gift of the written word. The book gave me great insights into the world of John Wesley whom I imagined rode around on a horse and started small church groups. He was more of a complicated soul then I ever imagined. Terrific book and well written!!!!! Excellent study for Methodists!
